Loved the Hellboy story. Art was good and it was for old and new Hellboy readers.

As for the Stranger Things story, I personally was not a huge fan. I guess they went with this art style so they they can keep it more pg. But it is not for me.

You're sure? Look at the picture. She was Catalina Tache... Engaged to be married next week. Her brother says she had an appointment to see your boss last Thursday. As I said, we get a lot of women in here. Friday your local cops found her in a ditch less than a mile from here... And she looked like this. She was twenty-two years old.

This is classic Free-Comic-Book Day! Two short, self contained, stories to give you a taste of bigger worlds. Along with a classic Hellboy mystery, we also get a Stranger Things tale.

Hellboy is right up my street and has reminded me that I need to read the original volumes. Stranger Things is less so, as I haven't really got into the TV series. The two stories get 5 stars and 3 stars respectively, leading to an overall 4 star score.

If this was just the Hellboy story I’d have given it a four star rating for the enjoyable little story that it was. Makes me want to read a bit more Hellboy than I already have. Or at least reread what I’ve already read.

But as one of the rare humans that haven’t watched more than one episode of Stranger Things, having half the issue dedicated to that franchise I can’t comment on if it fit the characters or not. Or if the characters involved were even in the show.

I liked it

The Hellboy story was short but it kept my attention
The stranger things bonus story was the cherry on top

Finally a good free comic!

Most of these free comic books are just ads for a title they're promoting. This actually has two complete short stories. Pretty decent ones too.

Hellboy: The Fortune Teller

Bucharest, Romania, 1983.

The large red being is investigating the disappearance of a young woman.

Catalina Tache, engaged to be married the following week, was found less than one mile from the curious shop.

The geek with glasses claims not to recognize Catalina’s photo. But Urresca does.

She explains the situations…and her powers…which Hellboy gets to see for himself.

Cool flashbacks to some formative events.

Nice artwork. Kinda old school vibes, but in a good way.

Stranger Things: Deliver Me From Evil

Byers and Argyle have a large stack of pizzas.

Byers wants to eat them.

When the burnouts nearly hit a coyote, it brings back memories for Argyle.

Chupacabras, ghosts…

The Stranger Things story is lame af. But the Hellboy one is cool.

Un buen relato de Hellboy que nos puede servir como guía a otras aventuras que ha tenido antes. Hellboy se encuentra con una extraña mujer que sorbe vida, pero además, puede ver el pasado.
El relato de Stranger Things es también muy bueno, aunque no toma como protagonistas a los chicos.
